What is Bristol Today?

Bristol Today was created to champion local Bristol news, events, guides and other useful content.

The idea behind Bristol Today was to establish a city dashboard that collates news and events to provide a one-stop site for locals and visitors. It has since expanded to include a range of information from multiple sources, as well as original content created in-house.

The site was launched by Ross Merritt in May 2022, due to finding that keeping up with multiple publications can be tiresome. Bristol Today was set up to provide an overview of what’s going on in the city.
